Twist {shopping in Philadeplhia}
If you are ever in the Philadelphia area, then be sure to stop by Twist, a lovely home decor boutique that carries some great items and some fabulous furniture(many are designed and restored by Interior Designer & Co-Owner Sharne Algotsson. Sharne began her training in Stockholm, Sweden, where she rose to the positions of head decorator, visual merchandising manager, and set designer for the international IKEA catalog before starting her own design firm. She is also the author of “City Living”, “African Style”, and co-author of “Spirit of African Design”. I highly recommend all three of these books, and the latter two(which I also own) are chock full of African textile patterns, colors, inspiration and history. A great addition to any textile & pattern library.

I love twist, I’ve been meaning to take my daughter in there who’s interested in taking up interior design. Want to try to give her a a fell of what’s out there as well as who.
She’s just 11 right now so there’s time before she actually gets to filling out college applications however no time like today to start sowing into her gifts and desires.
